So, I did this Normandy day trip with my dad (he’s a WWII nut), and honestly—WORTH IT. Our guide (can’t remember his name, but super friendly, British accent) made the stories come alive. Weather started out drizzly but cleared up by the time we hit Omaha Beach, which felt kinda poetic? The bus was comfy, but a bit chilly, so bring a sweater. Lunch was decent (I had fish, was ok but not EPIC), but the real highlight was standing in the American cemetery. Gave me chills. Only downside—traffic back into Paris, ugh, nearly 4 hours. But all in all, totally recommend if you wanna see history up close.

Went with my dad (he’s a big WWII buff) and honestly, I wasn’t even sure I’d care that much but wow… the whole day was just so MOVING. Our guide, Marc, had tons of stories and you could tell he really cared. The American Cemetery felt so peaceful—kind of surreal. Be prepared for a loooong drive tho, and bring snacks. Weather was chilly but clear, so no complaints. Got a bit emotional seeing the beaches, not gonna lie. Would absolutely do it again.

Went with my wife and two teens. Early start (like, coffee barely worked yet lol). Tour was well-paced, guide was chatty and knew A LOT. Beaches were moving, especially with the mist rolling in. Lunch was in this old farmhouse, kinda cute, food was simple but fresh. Felt a bit rushed at the museum stop tho. If ur into history, def worth it. Only tip: bring snacks, the drive is looong.

    The Driver was the most experienced person who kept us safe and on time during lots of crazy conditions. I know I couldn't drive that area myself so I'm super grateful.

    What a DAY. Beaches were sooooo windy, almost lost my hat. Guide shared personal stories from her grandpa’s time in WWII—loved that. Met some cool ppl on the bus too. If you’re thinking about it, just go.

  • Step into a plush climate-controlled shuttle to begin your journey from Paris to Normandy, through scenic and historic locations. Your local guide will not only assist you with the boarding but will also share critical experiences about the strong history of D-Day that allows you an opportunity to find out about the fortitude of the Allied Forces.

    Normandy beaches

    Stop at Utah Beach to grab a bite at the Le Roosevelt Restaurant before visiting the Utah Beach Landing Museum inside a preserved German bunker. Your guide will share bloodcurdling details of how the US Armed Forces stormed the beach and took Utah during WWII. After a brief pause, resume your trip to Omaha Beach's Normandy American Cemetery & Memorial. Watch a short moving documentary on American forces and explore the permanent exhibitions of the visitor center. As you walk through the cemetery say a silent prayer for the troops that fought the Battle of Normandy and witness the wreath-laying ceremony honoring the service and suffering of WWII veterans. You might even be chosen to take part in the event with your squad.

    End your day with a reflective stroll on the beach pondering upon life's fragility, before boarding the shuttle with newfound gratitude. On your way back to Paris you'll break your journey at Bosgouet.
